methods does not give you the instance methods of a class. instance_methods 
does. obj.methods (where obj might very well be a class) gives you all the 
methods defined on obj, i.e. the instance methods of obj's class (minus the 
ones you undefined for obj specifically, I suppose) + the singleton methods 
that are defined on obj directly. If you specify the argument false, only the 
singleton methods are listed.
So SomeClass.methods will list all the instance methods of class Class + all
the singleton (a.k.a. class-)methods of SomeClass and SomeClass.methods(false)
will give you only the latter.

HTH,
Sebastian
